Facilities

Here in pastoral surroundings you will find peace, privacy, and quiet. Just the wind in the trees, and the bird song...

You will be comfortable in cushioned cedar log seating, multiple cozy break-out spaces, and dine on the premises with delicious food served by our caterer as you gaze into one of two fireplaces, or view the forest through walls of windows or eat outdoors on picnic tables. Bright, beautiful wood cathedral ceilings and walls surround you. You will be comfortably warm in the winter and pleasantly cool in the summer.  Highland Lodge Center is a year round delight for groups who want a change of scene—to leave the work setting for a little while and spend quality time together—meeting, planning, learning, playing, and team building.

Walkways through the woods are beautiful all year long.  In the spring you may discover a carpet of rare white flowers growing wild, enjoy the forest, and observe several families of great blue herons nesting in the woodlands. In the summer the outdoor pool is available for team recreation along with a campfire for evening gatherings. In the fall wild splashes of vibrant color will surround and enchant you. When winter arrives you may wish to warm your body and spirit near our massive stone fireplace or take a crisp walk through the snow paths among footprints of the wildlife that abounds.

Highland Lodge Center is located within 15 minutes of Ithaca in Trumansburg, New York and very close by are two of our beautiful Finger Lakes, Cayuga and Seneca, a National Forest of over 14,000 acres, and dozens of fine wineries and eateries. Close by are shops, recreational opportunities, excellent restaurants, inns and hotels, Cornell University, and Ithaca College.  You will find them all to be boundless sources of interest and enjoyment throughout the year.
